Thanks for the note, Carole, and also for the kind words. I’ll take a look to see if it’s something specific to Mac…it might be Internet security settings. You might try right clicking on a sheet music link and Opening the link in a new browser window. In the mean time, I’ll email you to find out what sheet music you are looking for…ill just…[Read more]

All of a sudden, I can’t get the sheet music either. Mac 10.7.5/Safari 6.16. The message says “too many redirects.”
I should add that I love this site! The resources are of the very highest quality and very helpful. Many thanks to the entire team. -

That is great Casey, I’m looking forward to seeing your arrangement of it. Also looking forward to Whiskey Before Breakfast, that is one of the standards we play at jam sessions. Between you, Hanneke and Kevin there are so many good lessons it’s hard to decide what to work on. Working on the advanced lessons has really helped me get better. People…[Read more]

OK. I recorded that way back 25 years ago…I’ll have to work you up a good version. That’s a good, driving Texas-style tune.
I’m currently prioritizing editing 16 additional Kevin Burke lessons. I also recently recorded a lesson for Whiskey Before Breakfast, so I’ll edit that and get it on the site…but after all that, I’ll record Say Old…[Read more]

Well, I see that it did not get on there. The name of the tune is “Say old Man can you play the fiddle”
Guess I should check my post closer.
Thanks, also I’m starting to work through the advanced lessons for several of the tunes. There is a real quality to the way you have arranged the tunes and the lessons are great. You got some chops man.

Thank you for the welcome Casey, actually I have been this evening working on the tune Jerusalem Ridge, Im taking a section at a time, I like this tune a lot, but I think the last part is going to take a lot of practice. I’m going to try to track my own progress by using my webcam. I think that will be fun if I do it each week, so I can actually…[Read more]

Hi, Gail, and welcome! Sorry to hear of your losses, but happy you stumbled on our site as a resource.
Pick a few good tunes and dive into lessons. Fiddle is a really tough instrument, so don’t get discouraged. It takes a bunch of practice and more importantly TIME for it all to click.
I’ll be excited to hear of your progress…keep us posted!

Hi, my name is Gail, I needed something to focus on after the death of my husband and my daughter. First challenge was to learn to read the notes. I have been trying to teach myself thru books with cds in them. I really enjoy playing, and really want to improve and learn some of the techniques that just really make a tune sound better, and…[Read more]

Hi Ron, and thanks for the kind words, sir. Which song are you hoping I’ll teach? Maybe I’m not seeing a link since I’m checking this on a phone….
Looking forward to hearing back. Thanks for your loyalty to the site, by the way. I’m glad to hear you are finding value and improving your playing!!

This is one that I’m sure a lot of folks would like to see you teach Casey. I know I would. It’s a great tune.
This is my second year on the site and the better I get the more I can appreciate just how talented all of you are.
Thanks for all the great lessons. Keep-em coming.
Happy Fiddling.

Sounds like a winner, #Burkerules….I’ll add it to the list we have going for the next time he’s in studio. I’m also currently editing 16 more lesson modules Kevin recorded in his last session, so stay tuned for those!!!

I would love to have Mr. Burke add Dinney Delaney’s to his lessons. He brings a nice flare to it.
